well the idea is that the few teams willing to spend money are the teams that are sort of at the top and close to contention. they're thinking "well we're very close to being a championship team, might as well break the bank now and try to get one in the next few years" - whereas the other teams are like "fuck it we got no chance, let's clear up cap space so we at least don't lose too much money".

Lakers re-signed Shannon Brown for ~4 million over 2 years... that's a really solid deal IMO, not too much but something that probably makes him happy.

Ive always wanted to see what he can do with consistent more playing time. He got some in cleveland with some injuries and he had some good games.

I'd rather have Big Baby long term than Rasheed. More heart, more stable, getting better, evidently doesn't screw up defensive assignments, hard to move on the block. Rasheed's pluses: can shoot a 3, might be a better shooter, was once more athletic, longer, better backup center.

Unless Garnett's health is in serious doubt, a backup small forward is a much bigger problem for the Celtics.

But Big Baby is not big enough to play center. But he is getting good at mid range shots

Yeah. I heard about San Antonio, Memphis and Orlando are thought to be interested in Big Baby... Tomorrow (8 July) is a first day allowing to be signed under NBA regulations, so we wait what's gonna happen officially.

Depends on what you mean by firepower.

Sheed will go on the block for the first 41 of the season and the C's will look fantastic, and after not being invited to the 3pt contest at All Star weekend he will get jealous and go back to floating outside. The interesting part will be how he interacts with Rivers. He should definitely be coming off the bench since few backups can contend with him.

The problem with all of the other candidates (Davis, Bass, etc.) in the RWallace deal is that defensively they'll draw the defensive assignments of guarding people like Rashard Lewis and such, none of those other guys can keep up with those kind of players in the East and none of the other guys will be able to work through a screen and keep up.

You make a very important point, Lewis was a nightmare cover for most teams, creating all sorts of other openings on the floor. ORL lost in the finals because LA had Odom/Ariza (now Artest) to throw at him - all big and fast enough to keep up. Made it look easy in fact. Cle got shredded however and I honestly don't see how adding Shaq helps them. Le Bron can only defend one player, which leaves either Carter or Lewis to do as they please with the weaker Cle defenders. Sheed does give the Celtics more flexibility... it all depends on health I guess.

Jumping topics... can't believe the Mavs are giving Kidd $25m for 3 years. I know next summer they could have some $40m in cap space, but still this seems like an odd contract to pick up.

Long term because he's young, but Sheed is the much better player. He has locked down Howard over the past couple of years in DET with not too much issues. He is a very good defender on the block. Only thing you have to deal with are his outbursts, but even then sometimes that fires up the team and works FOR you rather than AGAINST you.

BG ain't bad offensively but he can't defend many bigger SGs. Very mixed blessing on a team, especially since there are so many great SGs who can torch you right now.
